FIGURE 1 COMPLETE HEADER- 36 FT CASE 1042, KIT# 405826- BOLT ON MOUNTS
Most factory built headers were built with no focus on having a cross auger, pea auger or other
attachment to assist in feeding the crop into the feeder house of the combine. The first units were
weld on; this 36 foot kit is a drill on –that the installer places the parts close to where they belong,
and drills the holes in the center of the slots, and allows mounts can be shifted around on the slots
to allow a correct installation on headers that are not always built the same.
The criteria for best install are:
1. The rear edge of the flighting is ¼” from the rear face of the back board.
2. The height of the auger is predetermined at the end mounts –ensure that the center is at a
similar height when completed.
3. The auger must rotate down on the forward edge to move materials down and to the center.
4. Start from the LH Bearing mount end and work across.
The part pages are also useful to find particular fastener sizes and other details.

FIGURE 2 LEFT END MOUNT (ISOMETRIC VIEW)
1. Locate the left hand mount, and clamp the left hand end mount onto the angle tin in the upper corner of the
header, the Ag Shield is placed .25 inches to the inside of header to gusset line, and 3.375" from the top or
rear edge of gusset, This should leave the center of the mount 6.5 inches from the around on the slots as
necessary. Drill hole 3/8" or slightly larger . bolt the mount in place

1. Locate the right hand mount, and clamp the right hand end mount to the header, the Ag Shield mount is
placed .25 inches to the inside of header to gusset line, and 3.375" from the top edge of gusset, This should
leave the center of the motor mount holes 6.5 inches from the around on the slots as necessary. Drill hole
3/8" or slightly larger . bolt the mount in place.
FIGURE 4 RIGHT HAND END MOUNT
1. see Figure 9 Drill pattern for center mount------Locate the 3 different pieces of the center
mount, observe the direction below regards where to drill holes to mount the sky blue
colored outer plates that hold the dark blue mount in place. Mark the holes, drill the holes
with 1/2- 9/16" bit, and bolt loosely into place.

FIGURE 6 CENTER AUGER MOUNT WITH PLASTIC COVER REMOVED
Note the stop bolt is used to
completely stop the auger from
turning IF you have a reason. The
normal position is to have the
stop bolt stored on the motor side
of the blue mounting bracket.
To use the stop bolt - install the
bolt into the path of the rotating
auger as show, and then
completely open the bypass
adjusting valve so that excessive
back pressure is not built up in
the canvas circuit.

FIGURE 8 CENTER MOUNT - DRILL 4 HOLES IN THE REEL CYLINDER MOUNT PLATES HEADER
The approximate hole locations are detailed below, the side plates should be 1.38 or 1 3/8” below
and parallel to the lower side of cylinder mount. The rear edge of the mount is 3.48 (approximately
3 ½”) inches ahead. The slot allows proper position before final tighten.

18
FIGURE 9 DRILL PATTERN FOR CENTER MOUNT
Identify the left auger by the part numbers listed - and the number sticker on the center end of the
auger. Note that the flighting will move material toward center when turning down on the forward
edge of the auger. The 14 inch removable paddle goes to the center of header. With the sprockets
and bearing flanges on the end, lift the left auger into position. Bolt loosely into place. Position the
auger ¼” or less from the back edge of header. Tighten the bearing mount bolts The header acts
as the stripper that prevents crop from wrapping around the auger. Adjusting closer than ¼” is
better, but usually not necessary
Identify the right auger by the part numbers listed - and the number sticker on the center end of
the auger. Note that the flighting will move material toward center when turning down on the
forward edge of the auger. The 14 inch removable paddle goes to the center of header. With the
motor, motor mounts, sprockets and bearing flanges on the end, lift the right auger into position.
Bolt loosely into place. Position the auger ¼” or less from the back edge of header. Tighten the
bearing mount bolts The header acts as the stripper that prevents crop from wrapping around the
auger. Adjusting closer than ¼” is better, but usually unnecessary.
1. Join the 2 augers with the chain coupler.
2. Install the center black plastic cover over center bearings
3. Observe that the right auger is ¼ inch from the frame to the flighting, BUT ALSO lined up to
have the chain coupler easily wrapped around the 2 sprockets. Snug both center bearings
before installing chain coupler.
4. Be sure to adjust the center mount forward and aft, Depending on what center drum
attachment is on the unit.
5. Raise the center drum on the header as high as it will go, with the header tilted back,
and check for clearance between the auger and the drum fingers.
6. Adjust the auger accordingly to have clearance between the auger flighting and
paddle vs. the drum and fingers.

19
4.1. WELD ON CENTER MOUNT (SOME MODELS)
If your header does not have the center mount ears for the Ag Shield auger mount. A weld on piece is provided in
your kit.
Place the blue plate onto the header and weld to the existing ears.
Drill holes in plate for the center mount.
